Then you have PC 3D fighters off the top of my head, like FX Fighter and Sento, etc You are missing games Like Ballz 3D, Criticom, and Zero Divide among others. There were more than just 3 3D fighters before FFL. The obviousness of me clearly exagerrating the numbers to make a point put aside, this is incorrect.
On consoles there were only Virtua Fighter, Tekken 1 and Battle Arena Toshinden before FFL. (Look at release dates on consoles for US and EU)īut even counting all Arcade 3D fighting games, 30-40 releases until FFL is a far fetched number.įFL was something in between Tekken and VF 1 graphically, but Clint is right, the gameplay is crippled by some bad design decisions. 2D fighting games were still dominant throughout 1996. The gamble didn't work out, but at least the gamble made sense. A lot of 3D fighters at that point had small audiences, even games like Toshinden that were initially more popular due to the novelty of 3D fighting being new, later became a niche nobody franchise on the same console. It was probably better to try and differentiate instead of playing it safe in a genre that was starting to consolidate around a few franchises. Not counting computer 3D fighters like your FX Fighters etc. While the result of trying to be different failed for Fight For Life (and several other games) the change itself at least made sense.īy the time Fight for Life came out between 93-96 there were a crap ton of 3D fighters, clones or otherwise maybe over 30-40+ releases, and that's just on consoles.
